National Certification Corporation (NCC) Electronic Fetal Monitoring Certification Test 2, Answered-Uterine contractions are quantified as –Ans- the number of contractions present in a 10 min window Normal frequency of uterine contractions - Ans- ≤5 contractions in 10 min, averaged over a 30 min window Tachysystole is - Ans- >5 contractions in 10 min, averaged over a 30 min window. Should be qualified as to the presence or absence of FHR decelerations Terms describing uterine contractions that have been abandoned - Ans- "hyperstimulation" and "hypercontractility" FHR patterns are defined by the characteristics of - Ans- baseline, variability, accelerations, and decelerations Baseline FHR is determined by approximating the mean FHR rounded to increments of (A) bpm during a (B) min window, excluding (C) and (D) and periods of (E) FHR variability - Ans- A. 5 B. 10 C. accelerations D. decelerations E. marked There must be at least (A) minutes of identifiable baseline segments in any (B) minute window, or the baseline for that period is (C) - Ans- A. 2 B. 10 C. Indeterminate Bradycardia - Ans- a baseline FHR <110 Tachycardia - Ans- a baseline FHR >160 Baseline FHR variability is determined in a (A) min window excluding (B) and (C) - Ans- A. 10 B. accelerations C. decelerations
